Laser Golf Putting Guide

ABSTRACT

A Laser Golf Putting Guide is positioned behind a golf ball and illuminates a stationary straight line from behind the golf ball to the golf pin cup or hole. The stationary straight line assists the golfer in putting.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention pertains to a laser golf putting guide. moreparticularly, the present invention relates to a laser beam used to helpline the golf putter, golf ball, and golf hole from a laser illuminateddevice located behind the golf ball placement.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In example one, Golf is popular.

However putting can be difficult, and it can be hard to line up the puttwith the pin-hole location such that the golf ball is putting in theproper direction.

This presents a technical problem for which a technical solution isneeded.

In example two, putters will lasers built directly into the putter orputter heads are gaining popularity.

However, because the laser is attached to the putter which is a movingobject, this makes it extremely difficult to create a stationary laserilluminated guide that the putter can use to line up their putt with. Asthe golfer pulls back and swings thru his putt, the laser illuminationguide will move, and take away the focus and concentration of the putt.This feature can also add offset weight, increase the putter cost, anddecrease the putter efficiency.

This presents a technical problem for which a technical solution isneeded, and by providing a stationary laser illumination putting guidethat is not attached to the putter, this will creates a more effectivesolution for lining up the putter, the golf ball, and golf pin location.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

A Laser Golf Putting Guide.

The present invention is a device that can be easily positioned andfirmly inserted into the putting green surface behind the golf balllocation. A laser stationary beam illumination field is used to line upthe golf putter and golf ball, with the proper golf ball trajectory tothe pin location.

By having a straight and stationary laser beam illuminate, the golfercan be sure they care putting in the proper direction of the cup.

FIG. 1 shows a basic design for a laser guided putting device (2) thatcan be easily positioned just behind the golf ball, and is used to helpline up the putt with the pin-hole location (3). By illuminating astationary laser beam (4) that extend from just behind the golf ball allthe way to the pin-hole locations (3), the Golfer (1) is better able tosee the proper direction of the put (4), and this will help guide theput along the proper path (4) towards the cup hole.

FIG. 2 shows an examples of a device known as a “Laser golf puttingguide”. In this figure, the Laser bean device (1), is attached to a rod(3), which will illuminate a stationary laser beam field (2), that willextend from just behind the golf ball placement, up and over the golfball (6), and extend to the pin cup location. The “Laser golf puttingguide” can easily be secured into the putting green by way of a medalground spike (5) or some other means of material or design. The laserbeam device (1) can use batteries as a power source, and these batteriescould be located either inside the Rod Holder (4), or inside the laserbeam housing (1).

FIG. 3 shows a prototype of such a device using a wooden Rod Holder, andnail for the ground spike, and a carpenters laser leveling device. Whilethe basic design is fairly simple, several iterations of such a devicecan exist.

Thus a Laser golf putting guide has been described.

For purposes of discussing and understanding the invention, it is to beunderstood that various terms are used by those knowledgeable in the artto describe techniques and approaches. Furthermore, in the description,for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth inorder to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. Itwill be evident, however, to one of ordinary skill in the art that thepresent invention may be practiced without these specific details. Insome instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in blockdiagram form, rather than in detail, in order to avoid obscuring thepresent invention. These embodiments are described in sufficient detailto enable those of ordinary skill in the art to practice the invention,and it is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized andthat logical, mechanical, electrical, and other changes may be madewithout departing from the scope of the present invention.

As used in this description, “one embodiment” or “an embodiment” orsimilar phrases means that the feature(s) being described are includedin at least one embodiment of the invention. References to “oneembodiment” in this description do not necessarily refer to the sameembodiment; however, neither are such embodiments mutually exclusive.Nor does “one embodiment” imply that there is but a single embodiment ofthe invention. For example, a feature, structure, act, etc. described in“one embodiment” may also be included in other embodiments. Thus, theinvention may include a variety of combinations and/or integrations ofthe embodiments described herein.

As used in this description, “substantially” or “substantially equal” orsimilar phrases are used to indicate that the items are very close orsimilar. Since two physical entities can never be exactly equal, aphrase such as “substantially equal” is used to indicate that they arefor all practical purposes equal.

It is to be understood that in any one or more embodiments of theinvention where alternative approaches or techniques are discussed thatany and all such combinations as may be possible are hereby disclosed.For example, if there are five techniques discussed that are allpossible, then denoting each technique as follows: A, B, C, D, E, eachtechnique may be either present or not present with every othertechnique, thus yielding 2̂5 or 32 combinations, in binary order rangingfrom not A and not B and not C and not D and not E to A and B and C andD and E. Applicant(s) hereby claims all such possible combinations.Applicant(s) hereby submit that the foregoing combinations comply withapplicable EP (European Patent) standards. No preference is given anycombination.

Thus a Laser golf putting guide has been described.

1. A method for using a laser illumination to display a stationarystraight line between a golf ball and a golf pin cup or a hole, themethod comprising: locating a laser illumination device generating thelaser illumination behind the golf ball and the laser illuminationdevice firmly inserted into a putting surface behind the golf ball; andaiming the laser illumination at the golf pin cup or the hole whereinthe laser illumination device illuminates on the putting surface thestationary straight line from a distance behind the golf ball, over thegolf ball, and on the putting surface to the golf pin cup or the hole.2.-7.
